Join us for our next meeting when Harold Lanier of Lanier Bee Barn will speak on Biology of the Bee with information for experienced and newbees alike.
Fundamental understanding of the biology of the honey bee is our first step in learning how to care for them and to help us understand what they do and (sometimes) why they do it. We will also learn a little about how they communicate.
